A mortar shell that was launched from Syria Monday appears to have exploded on the Israeli side of the border. This is the second rocket fired towards Israel from Syria within 24 hours. No injuries or damage was reported.

An errant mortar shell fired from Syria landed near an Israeli town in the Golan Heights on Monday, for the second time in two days. This was the sixth time in just over a week that the infighting from Syria has spilled into Israel.

Sounds like the same as the Turkey situation. Syria are trying to drag Israel into the conflict.

Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux

You are aware of the fact that the north of Syria is mostly controlled by "rebels" and that those so-called "rebels" are being supplied mainly by Turkey itself, right?

You are aware of the fact that the mortars that hit Turkey were most likely fired by "rebels" themselves, right?

You are aware that Syria has no reason whatsoever to drag anyone else into this civil war, while the "rebels" have every reason to do so and are the ones who would gain the most from any form of foreign intervention, right?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with 50 foreign ambassadors to brief them on the recent violence in the Gaza Strip and rally international support for a possible ground operation in the coastal enclave.

“He wants to make sure that the international community will understand the reasons if Israel is forced to act,” a government official said on Monday ahead of the meeting.

The official added that the premier intends to tell the envoys that “no country in the world would tolerate the current situation, in which dozens of rockets and missiles are continuously being fired at our civilian population.”

During the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu said that Israel was ready to intensify its actions against the Gaza Strip.

Six Palestinians have been killed and dozens more wounded in the latest round of attacks carried out by the Israeli regime on the besieged strip.

An Israeli warplane pounded an area near the northern town of Jabaliya in Gaza during the early hours of Sunday, killing a 20-year-old man, identified as Mohammed Shwikani, and injuring two others, medical sources said.

Another young Palestinian man, named Mohammed Abed, was also killed in another airstrike east of the city.

In addition, Israeli tank fire on Saturday killed four Palestinians and wounded over 30 others in Gaza.

Israeli Minister for Military Affairs Ehud Barak has also hinted at a possible incursion into Gaza.

“If we are forced to go back into Gaza in order to deal Hamas a [serious] blow and restore security for all of Israel’s citizens, then we will not hesitate to do so,” he said.

"In his statements in the cabinet meeting (on Sunday), Netanyahu tried in effect to prepare public opinion for the possibility of such an operation," Yossi Yehoshua wrote in the Yediot Aharonot daily.

"He was also shown plans that were prepared... in advance of a possible operation," he added, saying Netanyahu was to meet foreign ambassadors on Monday in a bid to build an international consensus for any course of military action.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior Israeli official confirmed Netanyahu was meeting the ambassadors "to prepare them for the possibility that, if need be, Israel will act in a more robust manner to protect our people."
